LEONARD COHEN : THE MAN WHO SAW THE ANGELS FALL
Εκδότης Ecw Press , ISBN 9781804251560
Fans old and new will love this refreshing take on the singer's
engagement with the broken heart and the laws of gravity.
Leonard Cohen has aimed high: to be all Jewish heroes at once. Like
Jacob, he struggled with angels. Like David, he sang psalms and seduced
women. But he never ceased doing what he did best: going from city to
city and reviving our hearts. LEONARD COHEN: THE MAN WHO SAW THE
ANGELS FALL follows the singer's cosmopolitan life from Montreal and
New York to the Greek island of Hydra and examines his perpetual
dialogues with himself, God, and avalanches.
We see how six decades of radiant pessimism and a few thousand nights
in hotel rooms transformed a young Jewish poet who longed to be a saint
into an existentialist troubadour in love with women and a gravelly
voiced crooner who taught a thousand ways of dissolving into love.
After more than two decades of research and travels, Christophe Lebold,
who befriended the poet and spent time with him in Los Angeles, delivers
a stimulating analysis of Cohen's life and art. Gracefully blending
biography and essay, he interrogates the mission Cohen set out for
himself: to show us that darkness is just the flip side of light.
